During the first half, Gilas took the 16-point lead. In the third quarter, Korea cuts the lead of Philippines to one point, 72-71.

Gilas has suffered their third straight defeat as South Korea stringed together the next five points.
“I’m very proud of my boys. They came out and fought hard. We fought up to the very end,” Reyes added.

The consecutive losses against Qatar and South Korea eliminate the chance of advancing to the medal round for Gilas Pilipinas, which was hoping to end its 50-year gold medal drought in the Asian Games.
